A carat or more has a certain ring to it joined the Resistance, he felt that he had to choose. It was a matter of "us" against "them." Today, Riboud sees the Hiss case as "the beginning of something that was fairly important, part of American history that is resur- rected now with Mr. Reagan, which is the peace problem, the McCarthy problem, witch hunts-really, the problem of freedom in America." Saul Steinberg says of that time, "When- ever we sat down in a group of people, we looked around to see who would join us on the barricades." In the spring of 1947, Riboud went to a party for Cartier-Bresson given by the editor of Harper's Bazaar, and there he met Krishna Roy. She was one of "three absolutely ador- able, beautiful young Indian girls"- his words-who were visiting from Wellesley College, where they were studying philosophy. Krishna Roy was born in Dacca on October 12, 1926, and, like Riboud, she had grown up comfortably. Her father, Rajendra Roy, had been director of public health in East Bengal, and the family of her mother, Ena Tagore, included the poet Rabindranath Tagore and a revolutionary leader, Soumyendranath Tagore. Rajendra Roy died when Krishna was ten, and she grew up in the city of Calcutta under the tutelage of her uncle Soumyendranath, who had a lasting influence on her . "My uncle, whom I had a passion for, was a revolutionary Marxist, and his Marx- ism was very different from the Com- munism we know now," recalls Krish- na Riboud, a short woman with dark skin and straight black hair. FuB of idealistic fervor, her uncle visited the Soviet Union between 1927 and 1929; he became a friend of Nikolai Bukharin, and slowly became horrified by Stalin's ruthless consolidation of power. After returning home, he, like Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, was repeatedly arrested by the British colo- nial administration for revolutionary activities. Krishna vividly remembers a time at the Calcutta railway station when she saw her uncle manacled by British police and carted off on a train. A weB-placed friend helped to ob- tain the release of her. uncle on that occasion, and, later, helped get Krishna into Wellesley. The friend was Spencer Kellogg, Jr., scion of a wealthy family, who had met Krish- na's family when his daughter Lois became ill on a visit to India and was treated by Krishna's father.
